The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!
I stopped at Sam's Club on my way home last night to pick up a few things and while I was there, there was a fire in the deli. I don't know what burned - pizza or a rotisserie chicken, probably, that's pretty much all they have - but there was a food fire. An employee extinguished it and I don't think they even called the fire department; if they did, that's a problem because the fire department didn't show up. It wasn't like flames were leaping through piles of sportswear or anything, just an unfortunately charred food item. Still, it stunk up the Sam's Club pretty good.
As I was checking out, my checker Derrell was talking to the cashier in the next lane, who'd missed the whole thing. "How you gonna miss a FIRE right in front of you?!?" Derrell asked, perplexed. "You're looking straight at it! [meaning the deli] And didn't you wonder what that awful smell was?!?" The other cashier shook her head and reiterated that she hadn't noticed anything amiss. Derrell rolled his eyes at me, but I think he has a crush on her. I don't know how it turned out, if he asked her out for coffee at some non-charred restaurant or something, because I had to go home to watch the new DVD I'd just bought.
I bought Over The Hedge which is very funny, highly entertaining and furthermore, has William Shatner in it (he plays a possum). It's hard to imagine how it could be any better - well, maybe if Antonio Banderas had played the pussycat, but I guess he doesn't want to get typecast.

Derrell probably punched the other checker in the arm after you left, then shyly looked at his feet.

Heh - probably. I bet he walked her to her car at the end of her shift, on the pretext of bringing in carts from the cart corral.
